ENRICH YOUR OTHERMINDEDNESS WITH R.O.A.M. T.E.A.M. 2008

As you continue your daily climb up and down the Ladder of Achievement, you many want to remind yourself of ways that you are able to enrich the lives of OTHERS by your encouragement, your example, and your positive support. Imagine a world in which individuals made a positive effort to improve and to really CHANGE the quality of life for OTHER people in their environment. Talk is very cheap for those who fill the air with their hot air, and we observe their motives are very suspect because of their hidden agendas. Giving a positive example by positive action and creating a learning atmosphere where effective renewals and changes are positive without any governmental or authoritarian mandates are extremely rare among greedy and elitist individuals. History has given us many lessons of negative charismatic persons who have lured innocent persons into disastrous consequences. If it is too good to be true, then it is too good to be true. There is nothing that is FREE in this life...someone has to pay for any giveaways. In God We Trust is the source of all true freedoms.

Here are additional testimonials from many individuals who made a point of giving positive example in their respective communities.

"The soul is healed by being with children." Feodor Dostoevski

"The volunteer has become a major force in our lives..because it is not possible for a man to live separated from OTHERS. We are involved in each OTHER'S lives, not by choice but by necessity." Nils Schweitzer

"Giving frees us from the familiar territory of our own needs by opening our minds to the unexplored worlds occupied by the needs of OTHERS."
Barbara Hand Herrera

"Volunteering creates a national character in which the community and the nation take on a spirit of compassion, comradeship, and confidence."
Brian O'Connell

"I have tried to live my life as my mother would have wished. She taught me as a boy that service is the highest duty in the world. I believed her then, and I believe her now. I have tried to follow her teaching." Henry Ford

"Friendship consists in forgetting what one gives and remembering what one receives." Alexandre Dumas the Younger

"As soon as public service ceases to be the chief business of the citizens, and they would rather serve their money than with their persons, the State is not far from its fall." Jean-Jacques Rousseau

"We want to take kids and mold them into leaders and this is going to be a phenomenal opportunity to do it." David Robinson

"To insure the continuity of philanthropy, we must instill in children the values and attitudes that will enable them to see charity as a vital part of their lives."
Mary Leonard

Let us continue to enrich the lives of the children, the adults, and the community members who most need our time, our talents, and our treasures. Let us continue to promote effective, positive learning environments. Let us continue to encourage OTHERS by our excellent examples to reach their maximum learning goals. Let us focus on September, 2008, to be R.O.A.M. T.E.A.M. effective and efficient opportunists to be there for OTHERS for whom we serve.
